Cases and resources in vascular techniques
This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.
This recent study examined illness trajectories in patients aged 50 and older who underwent lower limb revascularisation for peripheral artery disease in England. The research identified variations in patient outcomes based on age, admission type, and PAD severity.
Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) face significant cardiovascular and limb risks, necessitating tailored antithrombotic strategies. A global multidisciplinary work group reviewed current evidence, highlighting the varied responses to antiplatelets and anticoagulants, the importance of balancing benefits and bleeding risks, and providing clinical scenarios and recommendations for future research.
Management of acute limb graft thrombosis can be challenging, especially for an obese patient with Balthazar E severe pancreatitis and ARDS...
Explore key findings from LBTs in this PVI Course 2024 session! Learn about the CLOUT OUT and eSEPARATE studies on thrombus analysis in PAD, the SEPARATE study on clot composition, and the potential of digital twin technology for carotid stenting in the CASSIS studies. Also, gain insights from a nationwide AV access thrombosis analysis and the 2-year results of the LUMIFOLLOW Registry on SFA and popliteal artery treatments.
Watch this session replay from PVI Course 2024 as experts tackle complex venous cases, including bilateral chronic venous obstruction and the use of stenting techniques. Key discussions cover the treatment of iliac vein stenosis, managing in-flow disease, and the durability of acute DVT interventions.
Interventional radiologist Robert Jones addresses the common challenge of perforated stenosis in the deep vein near the anastomosis, a leading cause of endoAVF failure. Robert explains that this type of stenosis is often resistant to balloon angioplasty, making covered stents a promising option for future reinterventions in this area.
In this special PVI Course 2024 session, experts present key findings from recent studies on lower extremity treatments.
In this brief interview from PVI Course 2024, Andrej Schmidt discusses two innovative approaches in vascular surgery. First, he highlights a bioresorbable scaffold study, which shows promising results in improving patency and reducing re-interventions for frail patients with critical limb ischemia below the knee, while noting its limitations in treating long, calcified, or very distal lesions. He also delves into the encouraging early outcomes of a totally percutaneous bypass technique, offering a simplified method for addressing complex femoropopliteal lesions, including chronic total occlusions and restenoses.
Highlights include the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous axillary artery access for complex EVAR, AI-based risk prediction for spinal cord ischemia after EVAR, and the benefits of remote monitoring and blood pressure management after Type B dissection.
Barbara Rantner shares her insights on the ‘Live in the Box - Carotid’ session at #pvi Course 2024, where she delivered a compelling presentation titled ‘Routine completion imaging after carotid endarterectomy makes the difference!’
